Preface

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations plus People’s Republic of China, Japan, and Republic of Korea (ASEAN+3) established a forum called ASEAN+3 Bond Market Forum (ABMF) in September 2010 as a common platform to

foster standardization of market practices and harmonization of regulations relating to cross-border trades in the region. ABMF reports its activities to the Task Force 3 (TF3) of the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) under the institutional framework of the ASEAN+3 Finance Ministers Meeting. ABMF consists of two sub-forums— Sub-Forum 1 (SF1) and Sub-Forum 2 (SF2). SF1 collates and compares regulations and market practices in the region, while SF2 looks to harmonize transaction procedures and bond messages with a view to cut the costs of cross-border deals. This report focuses on the activities of SF2.

Members and experts participating in the ABMF SF2 have conducted a survey on bond markets and their infrastructures in ASEAN+3 with tremendous support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) secretariat and consultants. The survey looked into making possible cross-border straight-through processing of bond transactions to encourage investment of ASEAN+3 monies in the region. The participants have contributed through fruitful discussions and compiled this report to be submitted to the Task Force 3 (TF3) of ABMI.

There are 13 countries and 14 economies in the ASEAN+3 including Brunei Darussalam (Brunei, BRU), the Kingdom of Cambodia (Cambodia, CAM), People’s Republic of China (China, PRC), Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (Hong Kong, HKG), Republic of Indonesia (Indonesia, INO), Japan (Japan, JPN), Republic of Korea (Korea, KOR), Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR, LAO), Malaysia (Malaysia, MAL), Union of Myanmar (Myanmar, MYA), Republic of the Philippines (Philippines, PHI), Republic of Singapore (Singapore, SIN), Kingdom of Thailand (Thailand, THA), and Social Republic of Viet Nam (Viet Nam, VIE).

Ten economies out of 14 have already developed sound and robust bond markets, while four economies are planning to or are in the process of developing their markets. This report mainly discusses the harmonization and standardization of the 10 economies

with existing bond markets. Other important issues of ABMF SF2 include planning, developing and fostering the bond markets of the four economies, which are creating sound and robust bond markets in their respective countries.

This report is a preliminary result of the ABMF SF2 and consists of three parts. Part 1 provides an overview of the bond markets and their infrastructures in ASEAN+3. Part 2 reports on the issues of economies with bond markets in the region. Part 3 contains the bond-market infrastructure diagrams, domestic bond transaction flows, and cross-border bond transaction flows. Contents of the report are as follows:

Overview of Sub-Forum 2

Part 1: Bond Markets and Their Infrastructure in ASEAN+3

Part 2: Bond Markets and Their Infrastructures in Each Economy

Part 3: Bond Market Infrastructure Diagrams, Domestic Bond Transaction Flows, and Cross-border Bond Transaction Flows

Executive Summary of SF2

The Joint Ministerial Statement of the 13th Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the People’s Republic of China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea (ASEAN+3) Finance Ministers’ Meeting, which was held on 2 May 2010 in

Tashkent, Uzbekistan, endorsed the establishment of the ASEAN+3 Bond Market Forum (ABMF) as a common platform to foster standardization of market practices and harmonization of regulations relating to cross-border bond transactions in the region. The ABMF aims to discuss various bond market issues in order to enhance the mobilization of regional savings for regional investments and to improve information flow in the markets. The ABMF consists of two forums: Sub-Forum 1 (SF1) and Sub-Forum 2 (SF2). The objective of SF1 is to close the information gap in regulations, market practices, and other areas in the region’s bond markets. SF2 focuses to enhance regional straight-through processing (STP) by harmonization of transaction procedures and standardization of messages. This paper is the report about the activities of SF2 from September 2010 to December 2011.

The ABMF SF2 members and experts (ABMF SF2) discussed how to enhance regional STP of government bond transactions from trade to settlement, and conducted a survey on government bond settlement-related infrastructures, domestic bond transaction flows, and cross-border bond transaction flows. The ABMF SF2 chose delivery versus payment (DVP) as a typical transaction type to be surveyed.

Below is an overview of government bond markets in ASEAN+3.

The ABMF SF2 also surveyed on matching, settlement cycle, and other issues including numbering and coding such as international securities identification number (ISIN), business identifier code (BIC), securities account number, and character code.

The ABMF SF2 compiled and discussed the survey results from the viewpoint of enhancing cross-border STP and standardization of the messages, including numbering and coding.

The following are preliminary conclusions of the discussions:

1. Robust and sound bond infrastructures. Each market in ASEAN+3 has its own robust and sound infrastructures. Operational risks associated with the systems are comparable with those of developed markets. Each market in ASEAN+3 has its own robust and sound infrastructures.

2. Listed at exchanges and traded in over-the-counter (OTC) markets. Bonds are listed at stock exchanges in many markets; however, these are mostly traded over the phone or through other communication tools by negotiation among brokers and dealers. Bond markets in the region are generally OTC markets. This is common elsewhere since bond trade is mainly quote-driven where brokers and dealers need to negotiate the price. In contrast, exchange trade is order-driven where all orders of buyers and sellers can be seen and matched by systems.

3. Connection between trade system and central securities depository (CSD). In some markets in ASEAN+3, trade data are directly transmitted to CSD from the trade system to be used for bond settlement, which is efficient and effective from an STP perspective. In order to enhance STP in the region, each market is expected to automate and connect systems between trade system and book-entry system of the CSD.

4. Cross-border STP. There are still comparatively few cross-border bond transactions. Almost all trade data are entered in the CSD within the borders of markets. Both trade and book-entry systems are expected to be connected multilaterally to enhance cross-border bond transactions.

5. Cross-border DVP. In order to enhance cross-border STP in ASEAN+3, increasing liquidity of government bonds and currencies in the region is essential. From this perspective, ABMF SF2 members and experts are expected to further discuss fit-and-gap analysis of cross-border DVP transactions.

6. Matching. All markets have a matching at a trade or settlement level, and even at both levels. Some markets adopted central matching and others local matching. In some markets, both central matching and local matching are used. Also, matching with additional features such as reduction of input workloads is implemented. Functions such as input of post-dated transaction for bond settlement book-entry systems and automated pre-settlement matching systems are expected to be implemented since manual pre-matching through facsimile and/or telephone in the region remains to be the mode of matching.

7. Settlement cycle. Settlement cycles for local bond transactions in many markets are already realized at trade date + 1 (T+1), but market practices of cross-border bond transactions depend on each market player which seem to be more than T+2 and negotiable. As such, there is no standard settlement cycle in ASEAN+3. A settlement cycle, which is a rule for all market participants to observe, is expected, though not stipulated in regulation or law.

8. Harmonization of terminologies and definitions. Terminologies need to be standardized before harmonizing systems and messaging in the region.

9. Institutional Framework. Fostering a mutual relationship among market actors and stakeholders is important to implement a cross-border bond trade and settlement facility. To this end, there is a need to establish an institutional framework involving authorities and experts in the fields of policy, payment, information technology, and business operations to facilitate efficient communication, especially in emergencies such as [system] failures and disasters.

10. Reporting facility. Most markets in ASEAN+3 are developing and improving the reporting facility of trade data to authorities including self-regulatory organizations (SROs). A data collection scheme will be very important for the entire ASEAN+3 to make markets more sound and transparent. Also, this kind of initiative may be coordinated with the activities of the ASEAN+3 Macro-economic Research Office (AMRO).

11. Monitoring new issues. New issues such as new technologies and new standards including Legal Entity Identifier will be monitored to understand market trends and possible breakthrough practices.

Based on these conclusions, possible activities of the next phase of ABMF SF2, as agreed, are listed below.

1. Continuing survey of bond transaction flows, messaging, and market practices;2. Conduct ISO 20022 fit-and-gap analysis for government bond DVP transaction;3. Propose a possible roadmap to standardize and harmonize bond markets in

ASEAN+3;4. Prepare detailed government bond transaction flows of economies that can

possibly be connected bilaterally; and5. Provide technical assistance to economies planning to develop bond markets in

ASEAN+3.
